Philip ran out of time while taking a multiple-choice test and plans to guess the last 4 questions. Each question has 5 possible

choices, one of which is correct. Let X=X=X, equal the number of answers Philip correctly guesses in the last 444 questions. Assume that the results of his guesses are independent.
What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions?

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

Considering that there are 4 questions, and each has 5 choices, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 4, p = 1/5 = 0.2.

The probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions is P(X = 1), hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.4096

0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

How do you do this <br> I don’t get it
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

x= 65 z= 38 y= 77

Step-by-step explanation:

x=65° (opposite angles are equal)

z= 180°-[71+71 (bc the other side is also equal to 71)]

z= 180°-142°=38°

y= 180 - [sum of angle x (65°) and angle z (38°)]

y= 180 - 103= 77°

to make sure ur answer is correct the sum of angle x, y and z MUST = 180

lets check:

65° + 38° + 77° = 180°

Need help solving problem number 41
Pani-rosa [81]
Ok rmemeber
√(a/b)=(√a)/(√b)
and
√ab=(√a)(√b)
and
(a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n)
so

ignore 11 for now, we will get to that at end

\sqrt{ \frac{49a^{5}}{4a^{3}}}=
\frac{\sqrt{49a^{5})}{\sqrt{4a^{3}}}=
\frac{(\sqrt{49})(\sqrt{a^{5}})}{(\sqrt{4)(\sqrt{a^{3}}}=
\frac{(7)(a^{2} \sqrt{a}) }{(2)(a \sqrt{a}) }=
\frac{7a^{2} \sqrt{a} }{2a \sqrt{a} }=
\frac{7a}{2}

A 9 gram sample of a substance that's used for drug research has a k-value of 0.1459
snow_tiger [21]
<span>N = N0 e^(-kt)

for half life N/N0 = 1/2 and k = 0.1459

1/2 = e^(-0.1459t)

=> -0.1459 t = ln(0.5)

t = - ln(0.5) /0.1459

= 4.8 days </span>

How many times larger is 3.19 x 10^8 than 8.23 x 10^5? SHOW YOUR WORK!!!
svet-max [94.6K]

In order to find the number times something is larger than something, you have to use division where you divide the larger number by the smaller number.

So:

\frac{3.19*10^8}{8.23*10^5} =387.6063183

I'm not sure how much you want to round to,  but the answer is 387.6063183 times.

You can make sure by multiplying the smaller number by 387.6063183 and you should get the larger number:

8.25*10^5*387.6063183=3.19*10^8
